St Anne's Road Guest House, hotel in Exeter

St Anne's Road Guest House is located in Exeter, 6.2 km from Sandy Park Rugby Stadium, 27 km from Newton Abbot Racecourse, and 14 km from Powderham Castle.

The landlady goes above & beyond. Told her I would be leaving before breakfast would be served. She left me a bag of food to take with me in the morning. Exceptional service, a spotless room, fine shower & great location. In a city that has ridiculously high hotel room rates (Premier Inn £190+), this is a place I could not recommend more highly. I rarely leave reviews but this place deserves one.

    Characterful, spacious house with large bedroom. Spotlessly clean with great bathroom and shower. Really enjoyed using the large shared kitchen, dining room and garden. Great location, walking distance to city centre and attractions. Really quiet and relaxing.

    A really charming hotel with something of a boutique feel. Great location by the river (nice weather meant sitting outside was a bonus). The walk into town is steep and might bother people who are less able but it is quick and convenient otherwise.

    We had a 3 fantastic nights at Brook Farmhouse. It is a charming cottage. The king room was huge. Very quiet location. We enjoyed spending evenings in the living room by the fire place. Penny and Paul were great hosts and managed all our queries with smile. The breakfast was great specially the apple juice!

    Great location for car and bus from M5, Exeter City Centre and the Royal Devon & Exeter hospitals. Quiet & private. Very large bedrooms all with separate keys. Shared living area includes seating & kitchen, which is well equipped for 6 guests. Spotlessly clean & warm. Able to park 1 or 2 cars immediately outside the front door. Hosts are keen to make the stay as enjoyable as possible and respond quickly to text/phone, but they live very close to the apartment if visits are necessary.
